We arrived at Tokashiku shortly after a large typhoon had hit Okinawa. There was a lot of debris and mess on a large portion of the beach that made it seem "dirty". We had heard and read that you can see sea turtles in the waters of Okinawa, and headed off on our mission. We rented snorkeling gear just off the beach and tucked our belongings into their lockers for safe-keeping. After at least an hour of snorkeling and spotting several fish and eel, colourful reefs, and one sea turtle, we were satisfied! The debris gathered on the beach didn't make it the best place to feel relaxed, but the snorkeling and turtle-spotting definitely made the visit to Tokashiku worthwhile!

So we arrived early in the morning after hearing that this place was known for turles. Around 10am while snorkeling just past the roping we saw some. Well we saw 5 in a matter of 5 minutes and more started showing up. There followed us around as we snorkeled. Warning the large white fish will stalk you while you gaze at the turtles. They will even start circling you and nip and you. Warning do not feed the fish here unless you want the large white fish to never leave your side. The turles were amazing and we had 6 hours of time enjoying them and getting pictures. The water has 100 feet of visibility. Its like bath water warm too. It was absolutely amazing.
